Pieces Falling Into Place as Spring Practice Winds Down

UNIVERSITY PARK — With one week until the annual Blue-White Game, Penn State football coach James Franklin likes his team’s progress.

Franklin went into the spring with a question mark at defensive end, but he no longer has questions about the position. Questions surrounding the offensive line remain, but the group has played with confidence this spring, an encouraging development for the coach. Depth at running back and tight end, and the team’s kicking game, still concern Franklin, however.
